Knock Me Down

Can true love happen after thirty-five? Absolutely. But you might need to fall on your ass to find it.

When Will Strauss went out to hear a band, he didn’t expect to get knocked down during a political argument. He also couldn’t have known that the (possible) greatest love of his life would arrive on the scene in the form of a gorgeous, charmingly grumpy brunette almost a head taller than his 5’4”. If only he’d gotten her number...

A second accidental meeting and one very good date, though, just might be the beginning of something beautiful.

KNOCK ME DOWN is a high-heat “how they met” romance short story featuring a pan guy falling head over heels, a straight gal who needs to choose a new career because she’s realized being an ethical cop is untenable, and more than one incident requiring first aid.
